Backup your GitLab repos to GitHub

GitLab recently decided to silently delete any repositories that hadn't been accessed in the last year. The announcement didn't go over well and they soon caved to public pressure and decided to instead back up inactive repos to object storage instead of unilaterally deleting them. I'm glad they reconsidered, but the experience left me with a bad taste in my mouth, so I decided to look into (relatively) low

This will guide you through setting up a replica set in a docker environment using.

Docker Compose
MongoDB Replica Sets
Mongoose
Mongoose Transactions

	Installing Laravel 5.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 and Apache2

	This post will document how I installed Laravel 5.2, on Apache2 on an Ubuntu 16.04 server. Will will also install MySQL, as we will need a database, and PHP which is required by Laravel. This will be the starting point of most of my posts, so if you’re following along from scratch…this is “scratch!”

	First thing you need, of course, is the Ubuntu 16.04 server, with an SSH connection. Follow these excellent instructions and get yourself sorted out with one. Make sure you also give the server a static IP address (step 8., in the linked instructions). Come back when you’re done.

	…

	Welcome back! Lets get started.

	<?php

	namespace App\Providers;

	use Blade;
	use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
	use App\Repositories\StoreRepositoryInterface;

	class BladeServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
	{

	// Be careful when changing Object's prototype to avoid overwriting of methods
	if (Object.prototype.setPath === undefined && Object.prototype.getPath === undefined) {

	Object.prototype.setPath = function (path, value, notation) {
	function isObject(obj) { return (Object.prototype.toString.call(obj) === '[object Object]' && !!obj);}
	notation = notation \|\| '.';
	path.split(notation).reduce(function (prev, cur, idx, arr) {
	var isLast = (idx === arr.length - 1);
	// if <cur> is last part of path
	if (isLast) return (prev[cur] = value);
